Re: Who is this detailer (must read!!)

Got to try the drying technique with the carpet. Wonder if we should use a nice firm berber or perhaps a plush cut pile? Is Mike keeping these trade secrets from us?

Word on he street is that this is the reason why megs got acquired by 3m in the first place. Microfiber carpet backing shhhh.

Not this "Mike"



I have met a guy that kept a chunk of 1970's style Shag Carpet nailed to a piece of plywood which was nailed to the wall in his garage and to clean his pads he would take his rotary buffer and hold the face of the pad against the carpet and bring the RPM's up to about 2000 RPM



Over the summer I met a detailer that shared his "Secret Interior Detailing" system to me and as I watched him I wish I would have had my camera with me as I simply could not believe what I was seeing.

First, he took a Armor-All Original in what looked like the huge spray bottle and began spraying mass quantities all over the dash of a 2007 or 2008 Mustang. We're talking spraying this into all the nooks and crannies, vents, onto the gauges, EVERYTHING on the dash.

I stood there watching and couldn't believe what I was seeing, it was just to unreal... but then it got better...

Next he took a high pressure air hose with an air squirter and began blasting the dash spreading out the Armor-All and forcing it into all the openings and nooks, crannies, edges of components, etc.

Again I stood their in disbelief my jaw dropping to the ground and speechless. It was so hard to believe what I just saw with my own two eyes.

Next he turned to me and smiled and said, "Pretty cool system huh?"

I shook my head and said, "Yeah, that's pretty cool, thanks for sharing your secret"

And then casually walked away in utter disbelief.... (and kind of laughing)

It's rather interesting...I had a customer fly me to Jacksonville Florida a couple weeks ago to fix his Audi S4 that was detailed by a local guy with 25 years experience. The paint was wrecked---I mean, if you can see buffer trails and holograms on white paint in direct sunlight, there is an issue here.

I sent the customer the video link to see if it might be the same person, lol.

Okay, guys, you have to watch Britain's own Master Detailer: The Master Demonstrator!

It's a great spoof. Enjoy!

I hope it's a spoof! I couldn't imagine wearing an outfit like to that to show up an detail a car of that caliber.

In the spoof, I like the way he attaches the applicator pad to the angle grinder.

Now that I have watched some other vids... I don't think his process and practice is right but he says he has Parkinson's disease and I think its great he is working around/with the disease, I wondered why he always seemed nervous. Anyway kind of makes me feel bad.

When the GT owner tries to get his money back, the judge will appreciate the video. Hard to sue with video of you praising the work. Might be good idea for high end details for first time clients.

Guy might be dumb like fox.

Re: Who is this detailer (must read!!)

I've seen many reputable shops here in my country who are really work the same way "obviously with no sanding" but they but they buff to fast and sometimes dry buff on 70% of the buffing time. and check some of their work,,, and yes, there were swirls and holograms everywhere.

And for some reason, their customers are happy and keep coming back.
Everyone talks bad about Wal Mart but the place is packed all the time.

I'm not defending him by any means. I just think we can do more to help others than to sit here and trash someone.

Re: Who is this detailer (must read!!)

Lord this guy has been everywhere. You all are doing free advertising for him!
Yeah he *****. There are a lot that does. There are so many that don't even know what the internet is. They probably make more money than us because wash cars the wrong way but don't waste time on the net!

Re: Who is this detailer (must read!!)

Wow that was funny lol.

I like how he talked in third person and refers to himself as the master...

Aircraft Grade quality that lasts 5 years! I have to get some lol. Dupont...

I like how he ripped open his bottle in the 3rd video lol.

This should be a "Hot Topic" on what not to do!

I wonder if he's ever heard of masking tape?

Don't know why but it's like a bad horror movie, you just can't look away.

Re: Who is this detailer (must read!!)

I sure hope not, but I'm afraid it's for real. The guy doesn't look like he's in for a joke...
